Bevi: Sustainable Innovation with Sean Grundy, MBA 2013

Bevi is a beverage technology company that has raised $28M in venture capital and is (probably) the fastest growing beverage company in the country. The company's mission is to entirely eliminate disposable bottles and cans by making it possible to get any beverage directly from a faucet. Their co-founder Sean will talk about his path developing and scaling an environmental start-up, the pros and cons of having a social or environmental mission, and how to fundraise in today's VC environment. He'll discuss the challenges in trying to staying true to Bevi's environmental mission while facing increasing external pressure.

Prior to founding Bevi, Sean worked in water conservation at an environmental non-profit organization in the US and China. He has an MBA from MIT and a BA in Philosophy from Princeton University.
